1. Presentation of the Dimming functions The application software allows each output to be individually configured for Dimming applications. The main functions are the following : ON/OFF The ON/OFF function allows ON or OFF switching of a lighting circuit. -ON : switching ON at the lighting level defined by parameters. The switching can be made gradually or instantaneously. -OFF : lights out. The switching OFF can be made gradually or instantaneously. The command may come from pushbuttons. Relative or absolute dimming The relative dimming allows increasing or decreasing the lighting level as long as a pushbutton is pressed down. The dimmer speed is settable. The absolute dimming allows defining in % the lighting level to reach. Timer The Timer function allows ON or OFF switching of a lighting circuit for an adjustable time. Depending on the timer operation selected, the output may be delayed for ON or OFF. An adjustable cut-off pre-warning indicates the end of the delay time by dividing the lighting level by two. Priority The Priority function allows overriding an output to an adjustable lighting level. This command has the highest priority. No other command is taken into consideration if a priority is active. Only a priority end command enables again the other commands. 3/29
Application : maintaining a lighting ON for safety reasons. Scene The Scene function allows grouping a set of outputs. These outputs can be put in a adjustable predefined status. Pressing one single pushbutton activates a scene. The dimmer speed to reach these lighting levels are adjustable. Metering The Metering function is used to measure the total duration at ON or OFF for an output. A set-point triggering an alarm may be programmed. Setting of minimum and maximum dimming values This function allows defining minimum and maximum dimming levels for each ouptut. These values can be defined via an ETS parameter or directly on the front of the product. Selection of the number of outputs used The product enables controlling 1, 2 or 3 lighting circuits. The maximum power available by output depends on the number of outputs used. The cumulated power is limited to 900W : Manual mode 1 output used : 900W 2 outputs used : one output 600W and one output 300W 3 outputs used : 300W by output The Manual mode isolates the product from the bus. In this mode, the brightness of the lighting circuits can be forced locally. Expert mode Expert mode is used to force dimming mode manually. It is possible to carry out this adjustment locally on the front face of the product or via an ETS parameter. 4/29
2. Configuration and param. of the Dimming functions Selection of the number of outputs This parameter allows selecting the number of outputs used. Setting of minimum and maximum dimming values The relative dimming range can be defined on the product or via an ETS parameter. Local settings A 4 positions switch on the front side of the product allows selecting the following modes : Auto / Min / Max / Manual The Min and Max position allows setting the minimum and the maximum lighting level of the outputs. This setting is made by storing the current lighting level of the output 5/29
after a long pressure on the output corresponding pushbutton on the front side of the product. ETS parameters In case of ETS downloading, the possibilities are : - the limits set on the product are not modified. - the limits set locally are replaced by the values on the parameters. - the dimming mode configured values are replaced by the selected values 6/29
Functions description Dimmer DM03B02KNX have a load memorisation function in order to control dimmable fluocompact lamps and LED lamps more effectively. These products also have a priority function for the dimming mode which allows the desired dimming modes to be selected. The Memorisation object is used to launch the memorisation procedure. Memorisation of the load can also be launched thanks to a specific sequence of presses on a KNX push button: With a KNX push button configured for dimming, give 5 short presses (5 ON; 5 OFF or 5 ON / OFF) followed by a long press until the load switches off, Give a brief press on the push button to launch memorisation (two presses to return to factory dimming mode). This operation lasts approximately 30 s and varies the level of lighting. After this memorisation, the load lights at the maximum level and flashes once to indicate that memorisation is terminated. Depending on the load connected, the minimum lighting level can be modified. This memorisation can be authorised or not authorised thanks to the memorisation authorisation parameter. Dimming mode can be configured to a fixed value using the Selection of the dimmig mode parameter. This parameter is only available when the Dimming mode after download parameter is defined as the value configured in ETS. 7/29
ON / OFF, Status indication and Brightness value indication functions The ON/OFF function enables switching the output to ON or to OFF using the ON/OFF object. ON: switching ON at the lighting level defined by parameters. Switching ON can be gradual or instantaneous. OFF: switching OFF. Switching off can be progressive or instantaneous. The speed of dimming is configurable. The speed at which the lighting switches on and off are configured for the ON / OFF function, the values of these parameters are re-used by the Absolute dimming, Timer and Priority functions. The output status and the lighting level are indicated on the bus by the Status indication object and Brightness value indication object. 8/29

Dimming function The dimming can be relative or absolute. A. Relative dimming The relative dimming allows increasing or decreasing the lighting level of the lighting circuit as long as a pushbutton is pressed down. The relative dimming function is started by the Dimming object. The dimmer speed is settable. 10/29
B. Absolute dimming The absolute dimming function allows bringing the lighting circuit to a brightness level. The absolute dimming function is started by the brightness value object. The dimmer speed is settable (same values than for the ON/OFF function). 11/29
Timer function The Timer function allows ON or OFF switching of a lighting circuit for an adjustable time. The function is started by the Timer object. The dimmer speed is settable (same values than for the ON/OFF function). Cut-OFF pre-warning (in ON operation) : An adjustable cut-off pre-warning indicates the end of the delay time by dividing the lighting level by two. The value of the parameter cut-off pre-warning defines the time before the end of the delay time, when the pre-warning will be applied. 12/29

Note: Timer commands repeated n times during the first ten seconds after the beginning of the time delay multiply the duration of the time delay by n times the value of the Timer parameter, Timer commands repeated n times within 10 seconds after the beginning of the delay time restart the timer only once. Time limited toggle switch function The Time limited toggle switch function is used to create a toggle switch with a configurable cut-off time delay. This function is started by the Time limited toggle switch object. 14/29
Priority function The Priority function allows the outputs to be forced and maintained at a definite ON or OFF status imposed by the input. This function is started by the Priority object (EIS priority). The brightness on priority ON is settable. The dimmer speed is settable (same values than for the ON/OFF function). Priority is the function with the highest priority. Only a priority end command ends the Priority and allows again the commands from the bus to be taken into consideration. 15/29
16/29
Jamming function The Jamming function allows the outputs to be locked in their current status. This function is started by the Jamming object. The Jamming function is the function with the second highest priority after Priority. A Jamming end command ends the jamming and allows again taking the commands from the bus into consideration. A Priority command ends the Jamming. 17/29
Scene function A scene allows controlling a group of outputs. Each of the outputs of this group will be put in a status predefined for this scene. A scene is started by the Scene object. For each scene, the brightness level and the dimming speed to reach it can be defined. The group of outputs is created previously by establishing the link between the outputs that must belong to the scene and the pushbutton that will trigger the scene. Each output may be integrated in 32 different scenes. The status of each output may be defined by parameterizing or by learning in the room using the pushbuttons of the installation. 18/29

This procedure allows modifying and storing a scene by means of local action on the pushbuttons located in the room. Activate the scene pressing briefly on the room pushbutton that triggers the scene. Set the outputs to the desired status using the pushbuttons that control them individually. Store the status of the outputs pressing for more than 5 sec the room pushbutton that triggers the scene. The storage is indicated by the status inversion of the involved outputs for 3 sec. 20/29
This procedure allows modifying and storing a scene by means of local action on the push buttons located on the front side of the products. This procedure also allows an output to be removed from a scene (Not involved). Activate the scene by pressing briefly on the room push button that triggers the scene, Store the output statuses by pressing the room push button that triggers the scene for longer than 5 s, The storage is indicated by the status inversion of the involved outputs for 3 sec. As soon as the indicators associated with the outputs blink slowly, press briefly and repeatedly the push buttons linked with the outputs to set the outputs to the desired status. The indicators associated with the outputs show the status chosen: o Off if the value selected for the scene is 0%, o Permanent red if the value selected for the scene is greater than or equal to 1%, o Red and quickly blinking if the value selected for the scene is Not involved. Store the status selected for this scene pressing for a time longer than 3 sec the push button associated with the output. The storage is indicated by the return of the slow blinking of the indicators associated with the outputs. Repeat the previous step for each of the outputs of the scene. Timer and Automatic controls functions The Timer and Automatic controls function allow the outputs to be controlled by: The time delay functions: Timer / toggle switch change over, Timer, Switching delay, Tripping delay, Switching and tripping delay, The automatic controls functions: Authorization, AND or OR logical combinations, Parameters: The status of the output depends on the combination of the parameters Type of automatic control and Control type. 21/29
